Re: General impression lately I guess. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 31/10/2009 10:41:06 PM
I think I made the original question really too vague because I was making sure it didn't sound rude, it was really more of an "okay, I get what you don't like, I'd love to know what you do".
Everything. Including the Egwene chapters, and what happened in them. I can enjoy her victory while still disliking her. In fact, I defy you to ever point out someplace where I said I hope she loses. Getting Egwene on the Amyrlin Seat is not really a victory as I see, any more than Rand being crowned King of Illian. What is important is what he or she does with their positions, and Egwene shows no sign of doing anything positive. I would love it if she actually DID become a good Amyrlin, because that would only help the characters I do like. What I doubt is her becoming such, for my value of good, even if she does become a Great Amyrlin. A Great Amyrlin helps the Tower for its own sake, which puts all those nincompoops she was constantly getting angry, frustrated or exasperated at in this book, in a better position. A Great Amyrlin is hailed as such by the Tower and admired by the sisters. I don't want anyone that pack of twits would revere and admire weilding influence on the world during the most crucial period in its history.

Agreed! *NM* Mats imaginary friend - 30/10/2009 03:47:52 AM 545 Views
